Nominations close Feb. 20, and winners will honored at an awards ceremony during the Restaurant Marketing Workshop, June 2-3, in Indianapolis.
Ever wonder what makes a restaurant go viral while one with a similar menu fails?
Two words: Amazing marketing.
These winning restaurants aren’t just serving delicious food; they’re serving experiences. And more importantly, they are telling the world. Behind every sizzling social media post, craveable campaign and packed house is a talented restaurant marketer. These are the culinary creatives, the data-driven dynamos, the storytellers who make mouths water and brands thrive.
Think you’ve got what it takes to be recognized among the best? Let’s go! Nominations for the inaugural “Top 30 Movers & Shakers: Marketing,” honoring the brilliant minds driving marketing success within the restaurant industry, are now open.
Nominations are live
We invite all visionary restaurant marketers to nominate themselves here for the opportunity to be recognized as one of the Top 30 industry leaders. Note: To be considered, you must work directly for a restaurant brand as opposed to a marketing firm or agency.
Through a combination of expert analysis and popular vote via social media, we will identify and honor those who are pushing the boundaries of creativity, leveraging data-driven strategies and forging meaningful connections with today’s discerning diners.
Collecting votes
The editorial board will narrow down nominations and post the Top 60 nominations on LinkedIn by March 3, 2025. Then, we’ll open the contest up to a round of unlimited voting, which means we’ll see who has the best marketing chops when it comes to attracting buzz.
After the voting ends on March 9, the 30 marketers with the most votes will make up the Top 30 list and be recognized at an awards ceremony during the Restaurant Marketing Workshop, June 2-3, in Indianapolis. Click here to register for the workshop.
Join us as we uncover the innovative marketing campaigns, groundbreaking technologies, and impactful initiatives that are shaping the future of dining. Let’s celebrate the individuals who drive sales and brand growth, enrich the guest experience and inspire the next generation of restaurant marketers.
Nominations will close on Feb. 20, 2025.
